In the years of ancient traders

Chapter 59 The First Pot of Gold

With the matter of Liang Laosan last time, Song Shu began to pay attention to security issues.

Although it is a trivial matter to make a fuss and refuse to leave after being fired like him, it is also a bit troublesome to deal with.In addition, these workshops of his are very eye-catching, if someone uses their brains, they have to guard against it.

Song Shu thought about it. He didn't plan to look for another security guard. He just discussed with Song Anan and found a few young and middle-aged men who worked in soybean oil workshops and beer workshops. security team.

These people are all in their prime of life, working all the year round to make their body muscular, coupled with learning Song Anan's boxing style, it is easy to deal with ordinary thieves.Now that the trade in Xianghe Village is gradually developed, everyone has a source of income, but they don't really have the intention to engage in such a bad reputation. The law and order is stable, and six people in shifts are enough.

Song Shu chose one of the men surnamed Gong as the team leader, divided them into three groups in pairs, and took turns to be on duty after work.In addition, I also took care of Li's accountant and gave each of them an extra subsidy.

Several men who were selected to join the security team had worked in the Song family's workshop for some time, and two of them, including the team leader, had been favored by Song Shu from Boss Guo.Song Shu is kind, they know that as long as they work hard, the Song family's business will be good, and they will have a living. Now they can do more to protect the industry that feeds them, of course they are willing.Not to mention, there is that generous subsidy.

"...I will make an agreement with your stewards to separate your shifts for patrolling. It's okay during the day, but you must act together at night to avoid accidents. In addition, if someone is injured at work in the workshop, you are also responsible Find a doctor for him..." Song Shu babbled and gave a bunch of instructions, and the next day, he asked the security team to take over.

Besides the matter of the security team, Song Shu was also thinking about whether to hire someone to take care of the recruitment and resignation.

But in the end it didn't work out either.He had no choice but to ask the managers of the workshops to stand up for the time being. If there is not enough manpower, they can recruit short-term workers first. After reporting to the Song family and obtaining approval, they can become regular workers.

Song Shu also set the rules for resignation. Those who make small mistakes will be given warnings and deducted wages. If they are like Liang Laosan who refuses to correct after repeated admonitions, or make big mistakes that will cause losses to the workshop, they can be fired directly.

Song Shu has also communicated a lot with Accountant Li in the past few days.

In the beginning, the account books that Li's accountant gave him were all in the usual format here, densely packed with traditional characters, which made Song Shu's head ache.Later, he taught Arabic numerals, and accountant Li learned it very quickly, so he took the time to teach him modern accounting methods.

It was a bit strenuous to teach at the beginning, when to borrow and when to use loans, journal sub-ledger financial vouchers, and a bunch of first-, second-, and third-level accounting subjects need to spend a lot of time to figure out the definition, purpose, and usage method. The era relies entirely on handwork and human brains, but there is no corresponding computer program to use.

Wu Niang also helped a lot during this period.She is very sensitive to numbers, Accountant Li has many years of experience in accounting, and Song Shu has been the owner of a farmhouse, so he has a certain understanding of modern accounting knowledge. Not to mention, there are e-books left over from previous studies in his space, which can be read all the time. Call it out and check it out.

Together, the three of them simplified and optimized what Song Shu said, making it more in line with the actual situation of this era.It was a bit cumbersome at the beginning, but after a long time, this bookkeeping method is quite practical. Even if there are several workshops and tens of millions of expenditures and incomes, it can be complicated and not chaotic.

It's just that after Wu Niang left, accountant Li inevitably needed some helpers.

Song Shu and him assessed a few willing ones, and left two smart ones to help Li's accountant, so the financial and accounting work would be no problem.

After the generation farming frame was completed, the carpentry workshop has not been dispersed.

However, unlike other workshops that repeat labor every day, the carpenter's workshop also does some research and development in addition to making farming frames and ice mirrors.

After the farming frames were completed, some craftsmen went back to their villages, but some remained.Song Shu gave them a few blueprints or written materials in his space, all of which are equipment that may be used in this era, but because these materials are not complete, they need to do some research by themselves. Some days.

In addition to research and development, the people in the carpenter workshop also make farming frames and ice mirrors that can be sold, and also take orders from the village.They live and eat here in Song Shu. Of course, they need to make things that can be sold for money. Song Shu also divides their wages into basic salary and commission. There is a commission, and if the research and development progresses, there will be additional rewards.

Some craftsmen prefer to make more finished products to make money, and some prefer to concentrate on research. There are several craftsmen with good craftsmanship and experience nearby. They learn from each other and make things. It is much happier than before.

At the school, Song Shu found two other scholars who were willing to teach, and the class was not missed.

After dealing with the affairs of the workshops in the village, Song Shu went to Datu County again.

After he left, the hot pot restaurant also needed new people to take care of the top and bottom, and a guy surnamed Fang had been appointed as the shopkeeper before.

Shopkeeper Fang was originally a clerk in Wanghailou. Many of the clerks in Wanghailou have worked for more than ten years. No matter how hard he works, he is rarely taken seriously. Later, when Songji Hot Pot Restaurant opened, he jumped over.After he came, he quickly adapted to Songji's service model. He usually works hard, is warm and thoughtful to customers, and will not conflict with some difficult problems, and handles them properly.

Song Shu had noticed him very early on, and now that he needed to find the shopkeeper, he was promoted first, and came back after returning to the village for a while. The hotpot restaurant was managed by him in an orderly manner.

Chu Ning was in charge of the back kitchen, and Song Shu asked him to recruit apprentices and helpers. If Hengzhou City opened a restaurant in the future, Chu Ning would definitely need to go there, and he had to find a successor first.Fortunately, hot pot restaurants do not require high cooking skills from chefs. They don't need a master chef to sit in charge all the time like Wanghailou.

"Brother, I have packed all my things!" Song Shu said proudly, patting her chest when she saw Liu Niang at the door just after returning from the county.

"Liu Niang! Come here and fold your clothes, stuff them in such a random way that you think they are pickles!" Unfortunately, just as she finished speaking, San Niang's voice came from inside the room.

Liu Niang stuck out her tongue: "I obviously packed everything."

In order to move this time, Song Shu asked the carpenter to make several large wooden boxes, and put the soft clothes inside and then take them away. As for the furniture, they all stay here, and they may come back for a short stay in the future.

The house that Song Shu bought in Hengzhou City had three fronts and three fronts. The land occupied was not as big as the Chu house where he opened a hotpot restaurant, but it was still big enough for their family to live in.

The carriage that Song Shu and the others were riding in would tip over if they ran too fast, so they walked for half a day before arriving at Song's residence in Hengzhou City.The road where the house is located is called Shilifang. The road is paved with stone bricks and is wide enough for cars and horses. The Song family's house is at No. [-] Shilifang.The door of the house is the Ruyi door, which is the most commonly used door specification for ordinary people.

"What a magnificent gate!" Liu Niang got out of the car, looked up at the plaque on the wishful gate, "Song House."

Sanniang and the others also came down one after another, but no one pushed the red-painted door.More than a year ago, they still lived in those few rammed-earth houses with nothing, and the walls were bare, and they often didn't even have enough to eat.At that time, Sanniang imagined a life full of food and drink, but it was only a good harvest of crops, but she never imagined that she could live in a house in the city.

Wu Niang leaned against her and hid behind her, as if she didn't dare approach the red-painted gate without authorization.

But the door opened by itself.

"They're all here, come in, why are you standing there?" Song He heard the movement coming out from inside.

"This house is so nice, I was a little dazed for a moment." Cheng Erniang said, and walked over first.Others also went in one after another. The door was a shadow wall, a small car house on the right, and a row of inverted houses on the left.A living room was cleaned up in the inverted room for receiving guests.

Song Shu had already visited the house when he bought it, so he was left behind.Song Anan didn't rush in to take a look, it was right next to Song Shu.

"There are two rooms in the front room, and three rooms in the east and west rooms. You can choose the one you like later, so you don't have to stay with me all the time," Song Shu said.Song Anan is also grown up, so he should have his own room, and his family does not lack this feature, so being crowded together will make him feel unfree.

Through the vertical flower gate, it is the main courtyard.The largest and most magnificent main house in the main courtyard is the main house facing south. The main house is divided into east and west rooms, and the east room is connected to the living room in the middle, which is usually for the head of the family to live in.Generally speaking, the head of the family is the father or grandfather. The Song family does not have such a role, so it should be the eldest brother, but in fact the head of the Song family is Song Shu, who is the fourth eldest.

Song He came early, he lived in the west side of the main house, obviously he wanted to give up the big one to Song Shu.

Outside the main building, there are three east and west wing rooms, all of similar size. The east wing is slightly higher than the west wing, and the roof is higher.But the Song family doesn't pay much attention to these things, basically whoever chooses the one will live in that one.Liu Niang chose the middle room in the East Wing, Qilang lived next door to her, and San Niang and Wu Niang chose the two rooms in the West Wing to live in.In addition, there is a room reserved for Yan Zhuo in the East Wing.

Song Shu walked into the room on the east side of the main house, and there was a side room connected to the east side of the room, which could be used as a small study.

He has already put tables and chairs inside, and Liu Niang and the others can use them to read and write in the future, and he can also read the account books inside.

Before Song Shu sat down on the brown-tied bed that had been made in advance, Song Anan also walked in.

"Have you picked out the room?" Song Shu asked.

"Yes." Song Anan nodded.

"Which room did you see?"

Song Anan didn't speak, but pointed to the floor.

Song Shu: "..."

"...When you grow up, you should learn to sleep alone. It doesn't matter if you are afraid of the dark at night, just light a lamp. Don't worry, there are no ghosts in this world. If a bad person comes, he can't beat you. Look at things There is also a room in each room, if you don’t like it, you can choose from the row of back rooms in the backyard or the upside-down rooms in the front.” Song Shu said a lot of earnest words, and he thought he was being verbose, “Or I will give you this room , I'll pick another one."

However, Song Anan held him back and pointed to the upper bunk bed: "Two beds."

Song Shu: "..."

Who made the upper and lower bunks!

While the Song family moved into the new house, the news of their entry into the city had already spread.

Outside the city, there are three villages near the wasteland where Song Shu used to build workshops. In addition to the people brought from Xianghe Village, some people were recruited from these villages to build workshops this time.

After working for a few days, the local villagers discovered that this was not land reclamation, but a workshop!

It doesn't matter what the workshop does, but if there is an opportunity to do some errand, it will also be a stable source of income.These people began to inquire about the owner of this workshop.

After questioning, I found out that the owner of this land is Song Shu.

"Song Silang, Datu County? I know, he's a good man. He gave us the farming frame used for spring farming in our village!"

"I heard from my cousin who is a porter that you have built several workshops in Xianghe Village, and the wages are better than other workshops."

"If it's so nice, why doesn't your cousin go on some errand?"

"It's not like you can get in if you want to. He knows that it's too late, and those workshops are not recruiting people."

"If it's really good, this new workshop is recruiting people, we have to come here earlier."

"Don't talk about the wages, it depends on Song Silang's willingness to send us people to do the plowing frame. He is a kind man, and he will definitely not lose money if he works for him."

"Yeah yeah."

The Song residence is not far from the land in the south of the city, and the news of people living in it, these villagers also soon knew, looking forward to the stars and the moon, they finally looked forward to the day when the workshop recruited workers.
